      A Great Place to Work for All Levels of Employees

      Pros

      Tesla has fostered a culture of teamwork. Everyone is here working toward the same goal, and that makes it feel like a horizontally structured company. Even though the company is growing quickly, it still functions as a startup. This means that there isn't a lot of training or "perks" but there is no where else I'd rather be working. The friendly atmosphere and "work hard, play hard" mentality makes this a great place to work.

      Cons

      Because Tesla still functions as a startup, there isn't any detailed training for new hires which can make the first couple weeks feel overwhelming. But this is a welcomed challenge for most.

      Growing Pains!

      Pros

      -Company is growing really fast and there are a lot of projects to work on. -People seem to really believe in the mission of the company. -Full of young people just starting out in their careers which makes it a lively environment.

      Cons

      -There is little to no recognition when you do something good or amazing. It always seems like you only hear about people being shown the door. -The turnover rate is quite high (especially in management) which makes it hard to connect with management and there are tons of issues that are never resolved -There is a lot of emphasis on keeping the "Startup" culture alive and not changing the way we operate. At over 12k global employees, we aren't a startup anymore. There are a lot of growing pains and the company is doing very little to address these issues. The customer experience has suffered a lot because of it. -Growth opportunities and personal advancement aren't well promoted. There is also no coaching and mentoring program to help people get the most our of their Tesla experience now and in the future. This ties in with a lack of training, especially for the younger crowd.
